I recently stayed at Kandi Towers apartment in Angeles for $50/night on Airbnb (~2600 pesos). I took some pics of the 70sqm, one bedroom ,10th floor unit with balcony, and the Kandi Towers facilities. Hotel accommodation is often overpriced in the Philippines for what you get. You can’t find a nicer place to stay in AC...

Bangkok HIV test For a 200 baht ($6), anonymous, 60 min HIV test in Bangkok head to Silom MRT or Ratchadamri BTS station, then it’s a 5 min walk to the Thai Red Cross clinic, no appointment required. I wasn’t that worried as it’s difficult to get HIV from heterosexual sex, something like 1 in 1000...

BFS Priority Lane service In the Philippines it’s easy to be a perpetual tourist, you can extend your stay within the country for 3 years at a time, without working there, being married to a local, or being retirement age. Then repeat. Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia are also easy places to live for a young single...

Thai gogo bar You’ve probably heard the stereotype that only the rejects of the West expatriate to countries like the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, etc., because they ‘can’t hack it’ back home. Either they’re social misfits, can’t get laid with girls so need to move to impoverished countries, or both. Possibly they’re even criminals on the run,...

Buying preworkout @ Macau Nutrition I tried Modafinil and Armodafinil and didn’t feel too great on them, for the moment what I do to increase focus is take preworkout stimulant drinks and Yohimbine, for reasons I’ll go into in this article. Ordering Nootropics in Thailand Afinilexpress.com ship Modafinil & Armodafinil to everywhere in Asia except the...

It’s hard to rank Angeles City gogo bars in terms of girls. No one bar has the hottest, Angeles bargirls tend to just work wherever they can, or wherever their girlfriends work, and they move around a lot. Unlike Manila where a couple P Burgos bars stand out as having quality girls (Kojax & XOXO, same owner).

Highlights of the photos I took in early June around Manila, in Makati, Greenbelt, Malate, Ermita and the BGC. More Manila pics and assorted Philippines pics on @nomadphils Instagram. Some videos too. All taken with iPhone 7 plus. I stayed at Bel Air Soho on P Burgos and later Gramercy, both on Airbnb. A post shared...

Fast wifi for streaming Youtube The best internet I’ve found so far in Angeles City hotels is by asking Royal Amsterdam hotel to put a router in my room. Normally their internet is poor, slow with lots of disconnections like all other Angeles hotels I’ve stayed in – Field’s Hotel, Galaxy Hotel, and Kokomos hotel I’ve...

‘Simone’ Escorts aren’t something I normally use because usually they’re expensive, you pay a premium for the convenience of a girl being delivered to your place, and are risking the pictures not matching her appearance. It’s easy in places like the Philippines and Thailand to find a hot girl yourself in person from a red light...

If you’d like to meet Russian girls in Manila there are half a dozen working at Horizon on P Burgos street. On the North end past Ringside bar. The Russian girls there work as pole dancers and then there are dozen or more Filipinas who do choreographed dance performances in various costumes. In total about 20...

Office worker Pinay ‘Angeles dating’ may seem like an oxymoron. Amongst tourists the city is known mostly for the gogo bars. But there still plenty of normal Filipinas with jobs living and working in Angeles City, it has a population of almost half a million and Pampanga province has 2 million. Angeles Beach Club rooftop bar Maybe you’re...

Case study Some readers are interested in working online in Asia, as a way to support a location independent lifestyle – banging Asian girls and being your own boss. Well if you’re following our Youtube channel I was recently in Angeles City with Dan. He also has a blog Bodybuilder in Thailand and a Youtube channel. We met...

Bitcoin graph Since I bought some Bitcoin 7 months ago and did a post on it the value of BTC rose from $650 to almost $3000 today. In April Japan legalized Bitcoin which pushed the value up a lot. I bought some Ethereum (ETH) / swapped some BTC for it, and that rose from $40 to $350...

Beeway Travel driver When looking for a reliable taxi service from Manila to Angeles I Googled it along with ‘philippines-addicts’, that’s a good forum with information from expats. I found a fairly up to date thread with two expats arguing over whether Margarita Station or Beeway Travel, two private car hire companies, were best. Taxi Manila...
